In particular. it concerns compositions comprising synergistic mixtures of (A) the ethyl ester of N-benzoyl-N- (3.4-dichlorophenyl)alanine, and (B) 2,4- dichlorophenyl 4-nitrophenyl ether or 2.4.6- trichlorophenyl 4-nitrophenyl ether.
2,4-Dichlorophenyl 4-nitrophenyl ether is a commercial preand postemergent herbicide which has found use for weed control in such diverse crops as carrots, celery, cole crops, onions, ornamentals, rape, rice and wheat. lts properties are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,080,225.
2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl 4-nitrophenyl ether has been offered as a herbicide for the control of weeds in cabbage, rape, rice, wheat, etc. lts properties are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,316,080.
The ethyl ester of N-benzoyl-N-(3,4- dichlorophenyl)-alanine has been patented as a-herbicide and its properties are discussed under the basic Agdoc number 1-1-2763 in several patents such as Belgian 714,007. Its main forte appears to be the control of wild oats.
It has now been found that combinations of the ethyl ester of N-benzoyl-N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)alanine with 2,4-dichlorophenyl 4-nitrophenyl ether or 2,4,6- trichlorophenyl 4-nitrophenyl ether produce synergistic mixtures which give an unpredictable enhanced weed control. This is of particular value for the control of wild oats. This effect is produced when the ratio of A) the ethyl ester of N-benzoyl-N-(3,4- dichlorophenyl)alanine to' B) 2.4-dichlorophenyl 4- nitrophenyl ether or of 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl 4- nitrophenyl ether is in the range of 1:10 to l:l parts by weight. The preferred ratio of AB is 4:1 to 111 parts by weight.
Both component A), the ethyl ester of N-benzoyl-N- (3,4-dichlorophenyl)alanine, and component (B), 2,'4- dichlorophenyl 4-nitrophenyl ether (or the 2,4,6- trichlorophenyl 4-nitrophenyl ether) may be used as solutions in common organic solvents or as formulations. Formulations most often contain additionally a surface active agent. Typical formulations well known wmplmsm P in the trade are liquid such as emulsifiable concencmyl of N henzoyl trates, solid such as dusts or wettable powder, or a solid N t3,4-dichlorophenyl)alanine .10 g. dispersed in a liquid such as a flowable emulsion.

If desired other compatible pesticides or plant nutrients may be incorporated into the compositions of this invention.
The compositions of this invention may be used for weed control by applying them to the locus to be protected from weeds, or as blanket treatments to tolerant crops or as directed applications to a growing crop, usually a row crop. Preferably the materials are applied after weeds have appeared. Generally a dosage of from one half to twenty pounds per acre of the combination of the ethyl ester of N-benzoyl-N-(3,4- dichlorophenyl)alanine with 2,4-dichlorophenyl 4- nitrophenyl ether or 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl 4- nitrophenyl ether is used. The preferred dosage range is two to eight pounds per acre of the combination. A solution containing the two active ingredients is usually applied as such, for example. as an aerosol type application or by low volume aerial application. Wettable powder and emulsifiable concentrates are usually extended with water and then applied by conventional sprayers. Rates of application vary from 1 to 200 gallons per acre.
Tolerant crops include members of the Brassica genus such as mustard grown for mustard seed (e.g., Brassica juncea) and rape (Brassica napus) and cereal grains such as wheat (Triticum vulgare). The weed of most interest for which the combination of herbicides of this invention is particularly effective against is wild oats (Avena fatua). Accordingly, the control of weeds in any tolerant crops where-wild oats is a particular problem, such'as in fields of rape, and wheat, is of particular interest. I
A greenhouse method was used to show the increased'weed control and plant tolerance of the combinationof'components (A) and (B) of this invention over'that which'would be predicted from the herbicidal activities of the individual components alone.
In this test, evaluationswere made on wild oats and crops associated with this weed using 4--, 8-, l land l5- day old plants. Some plants were treated with a 15 percent by weight emulsifiable concentrateform of the ethyl ester of N-benzoyl-N-(3,4- dichlorophenyl)alanine similar to the one described in Example 3 above and available as an experimental herbicide from Shell Chemical Company under the code number of WL-l773l. Other plants were treated with a 25 percent by weight emulsifiable concentrate form of 2,4-dichlorophenyl 4-nitrophenyl' ether sold commercially-under the trademarked name of Tok E-25 which is similarto the one described in Example 1 herein. These two formulations were combined for the evaluation of combinations in this test. All materials were applied as aqueous sprays at varying rates of application in pounds per acre (lbs/A. The percent control was observed two and four weeks after treatment The results are given below in Table I. For convenience the treatments are designated as follows:
A ethyl ester -of N-benzoyl-N-(3,4-

It will be noted that excellent control and enhanced activity was obtained with the combinations on both Arena species. barley was moderately injured, mustard was injured initially but apparently outgrew this injury so that mustard. rape and wheat are all considered 101- erant crops.
The expected value for the combination treatments was calculated by means of the Colby formula (see Weeds, 15, (1967) as follows:
wherein x percent weed control by herbicide A at p lbs./A
y percent weed control by herbicide B at r lbs/A E the expected weed control by A B at p r. As an example of the calculation, refer to Table I under 4-day old wild oat plants (2 week observation) as follows:
Herbicide A at 2 lbs. gives 40 percent Control x 20 Herbicide 8-1 at 2 lb. gives 60 percent Control y A 8-1 at 2 lbs. 2 lbs. would be expected to give a percent control of:
E 40 60 40 X 60/100 100 24 76 percent.
A control of 100 percent was observed. A found value higher than the calculated one demonstrates synergism. 1n the above example the unexpected increase in herbicidal activity was more than-30 percent.
Table 11 gives the found (from Table l) and calculated values (E of the formula) for the two Avena specles.
TABLE II 8 as that described above for Table I data. Component 8-2 was the technical solid which was dissolved in acetone then diluted with water to spray strength. Observations were made two weeks after treatment. Table 111 gives the results as found and calculated.
A high degree of synergism has been demonstrated in thecontrol of wild oats. Although Wheat was somewhat injured, it is considered to be a tolerant crop.
This invention provides ameans of enhancing the herbicidal activity of the ethyl ester of N-benzoyl-N- (3,4-dichlorophenyl)alanine and thus provides a means of more economical weed control. This is of particular value when the control of wild oats in an economic crop is needed.
